Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces uncooked whole wheat elbow macaroni (or similar small pasta, such as mini shells (about 2 cups uncooked macaroni))
1 pound frozen salad shrimp (thawed and patted dry, or use roughly chopped peeled and deveined cooked shrimp)
1 cup diced celery (about 2 stalks)
1 red bell pepper (cored and cut into a 1/4-inch dice)
1 cup frozen peas (thawed)
2 green onions (finely chopped (about 1/4 cup))
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus additional to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (plus additional to taste)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package instructions. Drain in a colander, then rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Shake off as much water as possible. Let the colander with the pasta sit in the sink or on a towel to continue draining while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  • In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients: Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, white vinegar, Dijon, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • In a large serving bowl, place the shrimp, celery, bell pepper, peas, green onion, and dill. Shake the pasta once more, then add it to the bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • If time allows, place the pasta in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour prior to serving. Enjoy directly from the fridge or at room temperature.

Provided by Jessy Freimann

Categories     Salad

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 32 ounce bag frozen peas, (thawed (do not thaw in the microwave))
1 pound cooked baby cocktail shrimp (if these are not available, you can dice larger shrimp like I did)
1 can water chestnuts (chopped)
1 bunch green onions, (chopped (white and green parts))
3/4 can salted cashews ((I chopped them in this but my mother in law leaves them whole- they taste delicious either way!)
Kosher salt, (to taste)
Ground black pepper, (to taste)
1/2 - 3/4 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Defrost the peas the night before in the refrigerator or in a colander under running cold water for a few minutes. Do not microwave the peas to defrost them, this will ruin the texture
  • Drain peas and then pat dry to remove excess water. Place into mixing bowl.
  • Add shrimp, water chestnuts, and green onion to the bowl.
  • Stir in mayonnaise. Start with a scoop or two and mix it. Add additional scoops as needed until you get the consistency you want. You want it the be lightly dressed without swimming in the mayonnaise (unless that's how you like it!).
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Refrigerate until you're ready to serve.

SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKPEA SALAD



Spicy Shrimp and Chickpea Salad image

This warm salad of garlicky shrimp and herby chickpeas comes together in just 15 minutes and requires very little effort. Canned chickpeas, Fresno chiles, parsley and red onion get a quick marinade in a creamy citrus dressing while the shrimp cooks in a little garlic and olive oil. Fresno chile adds a little heat, but if you're sensitive to spice, you can remove the membranes and seeds before adding the chile to the salad. Make the dish your own by adding arugula, or swap the parsley for cilantro or the shrimp for scallops. Serve warm with a hunk of crusty bread, and enjoy leftovers straight from the fridge the next day with a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.

Categories     dinner, weekday, salads and dressings, main course

Time 15m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
1 lime, zested and halved
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 small red onion, diced (about 1/4 cup)
1 Fresno chile or jalapeño, cut into thin coins or seeded and diced
1 packed cup parsley leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped
2 large garlic cloves, grated or minced
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined, patted dry

Steps:

  • In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and mustard. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the chickpeas, onion, chile and most of the parsley (reserving some for garnish), and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, pulling the pan from the heat briefly if it seems like the garlic is burning.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and oil. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over with a golden crust in parts, stirring and flipping the shrimp halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Turn off the heat, then squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp in the pan, stirring to combine and scraping up anything on the bottom of the pan to coat the shrimp.
  • Serve the shrimp on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Cook the shrimp properly. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just opaque and pink, then remove them from the heat.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients. Some good options include peas, celery, red onion, and avocado.
  • Make your own dressing. This is a great way to control the flavor and ingredients in your salad. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and herbs is a good option.
  • Serve your salad chilled. This will help to keep the shrimp and vegetables crisp.

Conclusion:

Shrimp salad with peas is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, this salad is a nutritious and satisfying meal.
